Shirley Ballas chokes back tears as Pete Wicks dedicates Strictly Come Dancing routine to late grandma

Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas choked back tears after Pete Wicks performed a special Couples Choice dance dedicated to his late grandma.

Wicks found himself at the bottom of the leaderboard last week and doubted that he “deserved” to be in the competition after Sam Quek and her pro partner Nikita Kuzman were eliminated following a judges’ decision.
